PoLos.1sEs cut in one piece are quite popular.
The plats held in at the waist with a belt Of
steel or jet.
PLAIN POPLIss are being revived, and they are
especially suitable for the graceful draperes OF the
present season.
CORAL is coming again into vogue and the jewell
taking out their Old stock put by for many
day.
METAL BRocADEs are shown in some ofthe rarest
OF the Lyons silken fabrics imported this season.
They are used chiefly for court trains
SHORT DRESSES are worn very generally this sea-
son. trains being seen only on full dress costumes
THE ToURNUKE is certainly growing smaller, and
back drapereS are diminishing In volume to CORE
spond.
VERY elegant riding gloves are OF white swedish
Kid, embroidered with white silk In horseshoe
design.
JoNoUn is the fashionable yellow Of the season.
and with the forget-me-no blue makes a charming
combination OF color.
AMONG the rnid-winter Injuries for those who
can AFFORD them are gowns OF velvet or cloth with
entire underSkrts OF fur.
The only mum is not of fur this season, but OF
plush or velvet, with pretty bow and little Knot
OF velvet flowers
THE eminently English overcoat is a moderately
short double-breasted sack, with Tapped seams and
lining Of plaid kerSey.
INSTEAD OF garands OF flowers on the skirt 1t is
pretty fashion to dot the tue lace net with fine
blossoms or little bouquets
SPANGLEs, II In dull metal, are playing an i'm
portant part In the decoration OF millinery and
costumes for evening wear.
NOVELTY In fancy boots and shoes consists OF
an open-work pattern which is stamped out in
patent leather over a white or yellow ground
As A SUBSTITUTE for the stud or button In linen
collars and cuffs ye.y narrow cOlored ribbons are
drawn through the button holes and tied In bow.
ASGORA SHEEP furnish the fiuffiest OF DOas and
nuns. The white, fleecy, fringe-like fur is also
used in trimming evening wraps with very quaint
effect.
RUSSIAN models for little boys are very stylish
this season and are very pretty as WILL Fur is
used for the border the little coats and usually
Il aStrakhan.
ARArHKR BIZARRE FASHION Is that of having one
another, provided of course that two cOlors are
used In the toilet.
The PROPER COLLAR for gentlemen Is high
standing band, the two ends meeting In front, and
the upper corners slightly turned down, without
decided fold.
SEAL RINGS seem to be out of fashion. Jewels
Out only in the sunk Gypsy setting) now adorn
the third and little fingers OF the masculine left
hand.
TULLE BoSNETs are again seen for opera and re-
ception occasions White, pink, blue and corn
color are most fashionable and they are covered
with tinsel figures, giving perhaps rather gaudy
effect.
The prettiest or all furs this season is the bear
for the golden brown and other soft shades in this
fluffy fur make 1t very becoming trimming If
worn as bow or simply in band about the outer
garment.
EVERY short single-breasted light tan overcoat
Is not "coyert" coat by any manner OF means.
The covert coats distinguishing characteristics
are It's strapped seams and three patch pockets
with flaps.
RIDING breeches must be "cords,- reaching only
10 the knee and worn with boots (not tops" by
the by or leggings OF box cloth. These latter are
decidedly the latest, but they look very 'groOmy'
indeed.
THE CoSSEMAKA CLOAK is one OF the prettlest
among the new cloaks. The yoke is of plush vel
vet on which is sewn In gathered plaits the full
ness OF the skirt. gathering at the waist line in
the back gives pretty curve over the hustle.
WHITE LAWN tied In stin bow Is the only
proper neckwear for evening dress. The ties are
slightly wider than last year. The man who will
have a white tie washed and wear 1t second time
deserves to be mistaken for a waiter and probably
viii be.
THE CROWNS OF HATS in Paris have perceptibly
decreased but the brims have proportionately in
creased. The favorte shape seems to be a very
broad stiff brim turned up on one side The
bonnets, too. are not so high as they were last
year. Fur Is favorite trimming, and so Is grebe
used In facing the bonnet
PARIS FASHION LETTER says: 'There is no In
dication that the merciless slaughter OF birds Is
abating, for one sees whole hats made OF tiny
wings, and all manner OF birds in every imagin-
| able distorted position render the female head
dress repulsive indeed. II makes one shud1er to
| think what men must be ii the beings who don
these emDlemS or brutality are the gentler sex.
l But perhaps they show their sympathy after all
/ with animal life by Initiating the drOmedary IN
| sporting hump on their backs"
